Why don't we have a fund raising foundation like Breast Cancer and AIDS? We need a cure. I am sure women die from PCOS complications everyday. No one knows if I am right because there aren't enough scientific surveys
Lets just say i need a REALLY big band-aid, but until they make one big enough he is what I deal with, I do not knwo if they are all related to PCOS but I bet they are!! If not I will say they are anyway LOL.
*PCOS
*Hairy as a male goat
*fat but (weight challenged for the politically correct)
*No AF (well maybe 2 a year if i am lucky LOL)
*High blodd pressure and cholestoral (not ben checked but i am sure)
*insomnia
*depression
*anxiety
*tingly feet and hands
*sinus
*ibs (not diagnosed but i am sure)
*chronic neck pain and headachs migranes probably eyes really hurt durning this time hard to focus
*tired all the time no energy
*mood swings like you would not believe
*irratablity
*very sensitive skin
*heartburn all the time
*bloted all the time
*bloated from water(forgot what it was called but i will remember after i hit send LOL)
*very sensitive, cry all the time feel i can not control my emotions
*negative thoughts all the time
*jelousy syndrome LOL (i am jelous of all my normal friends)
*tmj i think my jaw pops all the time
*razor burn from shaving all the time
*hungry hungry hippo syndrome (i feel hungry all the time)
*feel like a man sometimes when i get angry
and you can be sure there are a hundred other things I can not think of all of them right now but this should be close enough.

This makes me sad, we are all so young to have all this happen to us, but at least we are alive and feel the sunshine upon us.
Other than PCOS symptoms, I have high liver enzymes, am borderline diabetic, and have slightly elevated high blood pressure, other than that I seem to be o.k.

* Headaches
* Dermatitis covering my scalp (forget the correct term for this type - not dandruff)
* Low immunity
* Carpal tunnel syndrome
* Bad eyesight (long sighted, short sighted, lazy eyes, stigmatism and a few other things thrown in for good measure)
* Asthma
* Kidney problems (doctors unable to diagnose exact condition as I object to a biopsy, but they believe it may be Nephritis - spelling?)
* Allergies
* Sexually Frustrated (diagnosed by my better half)
* I am also at risk of developing Anemia due to bleeding 3 out of 4 weeks every month
* Excessive mood swings - really happy and chirpy one second and ready to kill 0.34 milliseconds later
And of course last but not least, PCOS and all it's symptoms - the mood swings probably belong here too.
This is all I can remember at the moment.
OMG, I FEEL like a hypocondriac !
